2 Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions
Your SCALEO E complies with the relevant safety regulations for IT equipment. Should you have any questions with regard to whether you can use the SCALEO E where intended please contact your sales agent or our service department. Risk of electrocution The unit requires a safety-tested power cable which complies with the regulations of the country of use. Check the cables and power plug for signs of damage on a regular basis. The SCALEO E may only be connected to a power socket installed in accordance with regulations. You may only operate the SCALEO E if its rated voltage matches the local mains voltage. Safe disconnection from the mains supply is only guaranteed by removing the power plug from the mains socket. Just because the on/off button is not illuminated, does not mean that the unit is isolated. Simply switching off the SCALEO E and add-on devices is not enough.

Risk of explosion General warnings: Your system is equipped with a replaceable lithium battery. The battery may only be replaced by trained service personnel. Contact our service engineers. Electromagnetic compatibility External units, such as LCD TVs, may only be connected to the interface ports with screened cables to meet the harmonised standards according to EMC legislation (Act on the Electromagnetic Compatibility of Equipment).
Computer setup Do not use any components and modules other than those recommended by the manufacturer when setting up your SCALEO E. The SCALEO E components have been functionally and thermally tailored to each other in such a way that enables the manufacturer to guarantee trouble-free operation. If you have any questions, please contact your specialist dealer or the hotline. Repairs to the SCALEO E may only be carried out by authorised qualified personnel. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repairs may pose considerable risk to the user (risk of electric shock or fire). Before you change, install or remove any components, disconnect the mains plug and, if applicable, detach the telephone cable from the SCALEO E (pull out the plug). The proper operation (according to IEC 60950/EN 60950) of the SCALEO E is only guaranteed with a fully attached housing and covers for installation slots (electrical shock, cooling, fire prevention, noise suppression). The SCALEO E may only be opened by authorised and qualified personnel. 2
2 Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions Tampering with the unit will result in a loss of the right to guarantee claims and the discontinuation of the manufacturer's guarantee obligation to uphold the harmonised standards according to the law regarding the electromagnetic compatibility of units and low voltage directive. All integrated circuits and memory modules, as well as the contacts on all sockets and plugs, are susceptible to static electricity. Protect these from static electricity. The effect of static electricity, rapid transients or strong electromagnetic fields on the SCALEO E may cause faults. Touch an earthed object or wear a ground strap to divert any electrostatic charge from your body. All ports are only designed for connection of safety extra-low voltage (SELV). If the BIOS needs to be updated, only Fujitsu Siemens Computers updates are to be used.
Optical drives Use only completely perfect storage media (e.g. CD, DVD) in your optical drive to avoid data loss, damage to the SCALEO E and injury. Each CD/DVD should be checked for damage such as fine cracks, fractures or similar prior to insertion in the drive. Note that additional adhesive changes the mechanical properties of a CD/DVD and may lead to an imbalance. Damaged and unbalanced CDs/DVDs may break at high drive speeds (data loss). Under some circumstances, sharp-edged fractures may penetrate the cover of the drive (damage to the machine) and be thrown out of the machine (risk of injury, in particular to exposed parts of the body such as face and neck). Look after the optical drive and prevent mechanical damage as well as premature ware of the storage media by taking the following advice: Cleaning Switch off the SCALEO E and any peripherals, removing the plug from the socket. Use a non-abrasive cleaning product and/or a lightly dampened cloth. Avoid using cleaning sprays and any kind of solution containing alcohol or other flammable liquids. Do not use any abrasive powder or cleaning agent which dissolves plastic for cleaning. Only insert CDs/DVDs in the drive when required and remove them after use. Store the CDs/DVDs in appropriate cases. Protect them from heat and direct sunlight.

Additional notes for proper operation Position the SCALEO E so that there is adequate air for cooling. Never cover the ventilation slots on the unit. This could cause overheating and thus shorten the life of your unit. Protect your SCALEO E from very high humidity, direct sunlight as well as high 3
2 Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions and extremely low temperatures. If the device is brought from a cold environment into a warmer installation site, bedewing may occur. Wait until the temperature of the device has equalised and it is completely dry before you put it into operation (approx. 2 to 4 hours). The device is not watertight. Do not immerse the device in water and protect it from spray (rain, sea water). Should abnormal odour or smoke be produced and in emergencies (e.g. damage to the housing, operating controls or power cables, and liquid or foreign bodies entering the unit), switch the SCALEO E off immediately, remove the plug and contact your sales agent or our hotline/Help Desk. Do not smoke in the vicinity of the SCALEO E, as particles of ash may settle inside your computer. Do not eat or drink over the keyboard as crumbs or liquids may cause it to malfunction. Ensure that the cables from the computer do not pose any risk (danger of stumbling) and cannot be damaged. The computer should preferably be transported in the original packaging as it has been specially designed for the system unit. Use a high quality double-screened cable to connect the printer. The ID plate may also be located underneath the housing. The hard disk has already been formatted and the operating system has been installed. It will only need to be formatted if the drive has to be reconfigured. The "Product Recovery" CD/DVD supplied can only be used to restore/install your operating system if a motherboard with a Fujitsu Siemens Computers BIOS is being used. Consumer PC systems are not suitable for high security and medical applications.
Data backup Create backup copies of your work files on a regular basis. This is the only way to protect against data loss, e.g. in the event of a hard disk fault. No liability shall be accepted for loss of data.
Special handling of batteries and rechargeable batteries The batteries/rechargeable batteries in our units do not contain any Cd or Hg compounds.
